“I don’t care about anecdotal stories, why is it that Walmart workers cost taxpayers close to 9 billions each year and what should be done about it?”

I don’t care about you’re stupid premise. You sound like the typical liberal. Walmart is a private company, paying market wages for the work done. If people don’t want to work there, they don’t have to. They can go get better paying jobs with better benefits elsewhere. Walmart is not “costing” the taxpayer anything. It’s truly unfortunate that you can’t see how stupid your argument is.

You obviously can’t even comprehend the premise 🤣

What is the motivation for a worker earning 9$ an hour to make any attempts to earn a higher wage when they are getting the equivalent of 10-15$ an hour in housing, SNAP and healthcare benefits that they will lose if their wage increases.

On the flip side what benefit is there for a corporation to pay 20$ an hour instead of 10$ an hour if the government will subsidize their workforce with benefits that amount to 10$ an hour( minus 1$ an hour for every dollar over 10$ an hour they make)

The problem is obvious to anyone with an IQ over room temperature, if you can’t see it that says ALOT about you.

Not everything is “liberal” or “conservatives or “black or white” try grow out of the binary thinking
